What exactly do you mean by "tissue". Do you mean human tissue or a tissue that you blow your nose one?
There are no printers that can print in metal, food and other objects at the same time that I know of. It's something that many of us expect to see in the coming years though. Also, I'm not sure what you would want to mix a metal printer with one that prints in food. It could cause some toxic effects. I doubt we will ever see a printer that can print food and other materials. However we will see multiple non-edible extruders on one printer running at once very soon.

no i dont want this. my aim is understand real difference between them. for a metal printer we can say i understand it. a liquid is frozen by a laser and liquid goes down and again and object will be created.
but how a hamburger can be created in 3d printer or a human tissue? i want to learn the physics behind it

It is a tool that has a feeding mechanism which supplies the material. The material you use all depends upon the type of feeding mechanism that is on each machine and how the process then works. A hamburger "printer" uses a large tube that has raw meat in it that is squeezed out into a shape.
The human tissue style printer is much more advanced. I do not know a whole lot about it. From what I understand is that the "printer" makes a mesh and then tissue is grown over it.
